FAQ
Contract bonds, sometimes referred to as construction bonds, ensure that the obligations of a construction contract are met, from starting work as promised (bid bonds) to completing the project per specifications and on time (performance bonds) to paying their subcontractors and suppliers for the project (payment bonds
A bid bond usually involves three parties: the obligee, the surety, and the principal. The obligee is the owner or general contractor of a construction project, the principal is the contractor, and the surety is the bond company that issues the bid bond to the contractor.
Construction Bonds can be quoted as a percentage and usually range in the 0.7 ? 2.5% range, but they could go up to 3%. This is different for each bond depending on its size or other factors such as location of the project being built or availability of insurance companies willing to offer coverage at that price point.
Protections: Bid bonds and payment bonds are both obtained by a project contractor, but protect different groups. Bid bonds provide legal and financial protection for project owners against changing terms, while payment bonds provide financial protection to the workers and suppliers on a project.
Typically a bid bond is 10% of the contract price, but that isn't mandatory. Some owners will ask for 5%, a fixed dollar amount or any amount they think is worthy. The idea behind the bid bond is that the owner can recover the difference between low and second lowest bidder, and it provides a prequalification function.
The amount for each bid bond request will vary between projects but very commonly it will be 5-10% of the total contract price. One bid bond example is that a $100,000 contract may require a $10,000 bond (assuming a 10% requirement.)
A bid bond provides a guarantee that a winning bidder will take up the contract as per the terms at which they bid. A bid bond ensures compensation to the bond owner if the bidder fails to begin a project. Bid bonds are often used in construction jobs or other projects that follow a similar bid-based selection process.
A bid bond is a guarantee from a surety company to the project owner that a contractor is able to fulfill the obligations of the contract and provide contract bonds before work begins.
